The girl said she was followed by a man in a vehicle as she walked to Rolling Ridge Elementary School. She said the man got out of the vehicle at the intersection of West Ferrell Drive and South Alta Lane and exposed himself to her.

Parents in the area received an email detailing what happened near the school.

Police said the girl described the man as white or Hispanic with dark hair. He was wearing a black baseball hat and a dark hoodie. The girl said he was driving an older red and silver full-sized pickup truck.

Mother Stacy Johnson said the incident made her think of the recent abduction, rape and killing of Hailey Owens in southwest Missouri.

"It's very scary, especially with the stuff that just happened down in Springfield," said Johnson. "It's very, very scary."

"I have one (child) in middle school and one in elementary school," said Eric Allison. "I was worried about them getting home and what was going on."

People who live in the neighborhood said several elementary school children walk to the school every day. They said the area where the incident happened is usually quiet.

"I moved here from Columbus, Ohio, because it's safer here," said Johnson.

Another women said it makes her apprehensive about the safety of children these days.

Parents said they're reminding their children what they need to do to stay safe.

"Make sure the kids walk together to school," Allison said. "Have a friend walk with them and stay in a group."

"We just went over, you know, you don't talk to people. There's no reason for an adult to talk to you," Johnson said.

Even with the lessons, Allison said there is only so much he can do until police make an arrest.

Olathe police said they'll have extra patrols in the area. They asked anyone who had information in the case to call the Olathe Police Department at 913-971-6950 or the Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.
